If you have been contemplating website redesign, chances are you have heard about various techniques to optimize your site for mobile devices. For your site to be successful, it is very important to consider how your website will look and how your message will be delivered on the all screens. Especially the smallest of them.

Why is this important? A total of 77% of mobile searches happen at home or at work despite the fact that these are locations where users generally have access desktop or laptop computers. This means that the idea of being “mobile” while using a mobile device doesn’t really exist. People use every device, in every location, in every context.

The second thing to pay attention to is that bounce rates are 9.56% higher for mobile website visitors than for desktop visitors. Meaning that despite all those mobile searches, users are not getting the mobile experience they want.

These two statistics suggest that businesses are failing to optimize their websites for mobile. The solution? A mobile first content strategy.

Finding great stock photos is not easy. Sometimes budget doesn’t allow for the hiring of a professional photographer. So you say “Grab a photo from internet or any site.” That can create all kinds of trouble you will want to avoid. So you’re left with either low-res amateur photos that are out of budget and ugly for whatever it is you are you’re working on.

Here is my advice, below is an ongoing list (so bookmark it) of the best stock photo sites I have come across. If you need a Professional Wed Designer please contact me via this link for your free Quote.

If you are not prepared to accept the mobile visitors you will only be driving them away. A study commissioned by Google found that 75% of visitors to a mobile-friendly site will return, but 79% of people who find a site difficult to use on their mobile devices will give up and look for another site.
